    How to "show" instead of "tell" this aspect of my fantasy world?

    Ah, thats a good idea. I imagine that the patches near major cities would be well known and also if any are near trad routes.

    How to "show" instead of "tell" this aspect of my fantasy world?

    Interesting idea. I might just do that, although I do like world building. I was going for the "epic" theme where they know the world will end but there is a small chance they actually can do something about it. Like they wouldn't specifically know the laws of physics are breaking down, but they...

    How to "show" instead of "tell" this aspect of my fantasy world?

    So my fantasy world is in a slow apocalypse. The laws of physics are breaking down, there's "patches" of the world where stuff just doesn't work right. For instance there's a place where no matter how hard you try, you just can't ignite a fire. Combustion just doesn't happen there, flammability...

    Dream about the super gigantic all in one department store!

    I know right! I saw how big the place was from the outside, but only got to explore a small part of it.

    Is redeeming a really nasty villain this way good?

    I'm aiming for something like that. There's a much worse villain he was fighting, but he got carried away with the "fight fire with fire" concept.

    Is redeeming a really nasty villain this way good?

    Yes that makes sense. Basically Spectral is kept hidden for a while for his own protection and the protection of others in case he really doesn't change his ways. Also another question, would it be jarring to have the point of view switch between the two brothers? Like the chapters pov switch...

    Is redeeming a really nasty villain this way good?

    My similar. The brothers once did work together, but a rift formed from a misunderstanding. Also Spectral wasn't at the absolute bottom of evil, he had a noble goal in mind but disregarded the lives of mortals, there actually is a much greater evil he wanted to fight. Then although Astral...

    Is redeeming a really nasty villain this way good?

    Yeah, my villain is not being simply pardoned or forgiven, he was already punished very severally and was told if he reverted to his old ways he'd be punished a lot worse.

    Is redeeming a really nasty villain this way good?

    I understand, and yeah I hope I can write it well.

    Is redeeming a really nasty villain this way good?

    True and good points. Maybe it can be both? Like if Astral really does hope his brother can be redeemed, but also wants the resources he had.

    Is redeeming a really nasty villain this way good?

    So one of my villains "Spectral" a Sauron like being is also one of my favorite characters. I have the idea that instead of being destroyed at the end of the story, what if he slowly is redeemed so I can have him in future stories? My idea is basically, at the end of the war when his armies are...

    Dream about the super gigantic all in one department store!

    It could be considered a shopping mall. It was just way bigger then any I've ever heard of. Like the building was almost as tall as the world trade center in NYC, and just as wide as it was tall!

    Dream about the super gigantic all in one department store!

    In the dream I was with family and we made a big get together and trip to this enormous store. It was like a hundred stories tall and shaped like two hexagons attached together along a side. The place literally had everything you can imagine, groceries, furniture, appliances, clothing, tools and...

    Could be a good fantasy horror story!
